Readying for the Globe Show is no minor task... N ow presenting: ART! ut of over 35 pieces submitted to the Globe’s Art Show contest, only two upperclass¬ men were accepted into the Regional competitions. One, a Gold Key, representing ex¬ cellence in its own category. But this was very unusual for Winchester. “The quality of Winchester’s entries has al¬ ways been above the average in past years,” according to Mr. Ardito. “I don’t understand it, we submitted some of the best works done in years, still only two got accepted”, Mr. Ar¬ dito tried to explain to a class¬ ful of somewhat annoyed Senior Art Majors and Ad¬ vanced Art students. Even with excellent pieces from David Landry, Kim Hoffna- gle, David McCarthy, and many others, only Heather Lin and David Keane were fortunate enough to have their pieces accepted. “Basically as I see it, th ere are probably three reasons why we had so few pieces ac¬ cepted,” Mr. Ardito contin¬ ued. That either the judges were, “incompetent to their duty,” quoted innomnia, that the quality of the work was so excellent that the judges feared that the teachers par¬ ticipated overly in the pieces, and that the students basical¬ ly had their work done for them. Finally, that the judges thought that pieces were ille¬ gally submitted. Reffering to the rule, that only seven pieces were allowed per teach¬ er, therefore disqualifying many of Winchester’s works. Out of the three, Mr Ar- dido said that the first seemed most logical, “that the judges were not very ob¬ servant to the quality of the pieces submitted. Judging is no easy task, there are pieces coming in from all over the state. It’s not like grading a test or a compo¬ sition. In art, everything and anything is free- game”. The pieces entered ranged from airbrushed works, to pencil drawings. Every show is unique be¬ cause each has a wide range of techniques and usages of medium. The Globe Show is used as a little extra incentive for getting porfolio quality work matted and final¬ ized. The art classes contin¬ ued along as diligently as before, producing works along the lines of painting and sculpture despite the judgings. -Kent Matsueda Projects for the Globe Show chosen by Mr. Ardito were dis¬ played in Social Studies for stu¬ dents before the judging.

Districts festival provided students an opportunity to... oot their horns and sing out loud he lights dimmed, the audience grew silent and tension filled the air. The conduc¬ tor stepped up on the podi¬ um and with a flick of his wrist the sounds of the opening bars of the Carmen Suite number one filled the auditorium. The musical group performing on stage was the Northeastern Dis¬ trict Senior High School orchestra. Made up of stu¬ dents from across northeas¬ tern Massachusetts, the or¬ chestra was among several musical groups performing at Waltham High School on January 14. A small con¬ tingent of Winchester mu¬ sicians also participated in several district groups. The musicians became involved in the program when they auditioned in October. The students had prepared assigned musical composi¬ tions since the previous sum¬ mer. Musical educators from participating schools judged students according to techni¬ cal accuracy, range, tonality, rhythm and interpretation. Two weeks after auditions, students were notified as to whether or not they had been accepted. Lydia Cooper, Deana DellaCiaopa, Kimber¬ ly Lovins, Susan Meserve and Tom Moore were selected into the chorus. Laura John¬ son, a clarinet player and Da¬ vid Mclndoe, a percussionist were chosen for the orchestra. Picked for the band were Phoebe Goodwin on trum¬ pet, Kristen Herlihy on clari¬ net and Martin Herlihy on percussion. Four student mu¬ sicians also qualified for the All State music festival. This festival was made up of select musicians from district programs across Massachusetts. After playing in district groups, the selected students went on to perform in the more elite All State groups. Laura Johnson, Tom Moore, Kim Lovins a nd Lydia Cooper received recommendations for the All State festival. Laura replied, “I was psyched when I learned that I was recommended for All State.” The musicians crammed in preparation for their January perfor¬ mance. They each met with their performing groups and rehearsed in two four hour rehearsals the week before the con¬ cert and then in one six hour rehearsal the day of the concert. 30 Music Districts
